I thought we'd thoroughly dominate them because I didn't respect their offense. That O-line is really, really good and obviously makes it all possible.
Hurts also played a lot better than I thought he would. Some of that is he was healthier than I thought he was going to be and some of it was he just made some gutsy throws. Against a more veteran secondary I think he gets picked a couple of times but he understood he could take chances and he did, to great results. As Hurts continues to grow as a passer, he's going to get even more difficult to defend.
This will be a fun game to go back and watch again.

The NFL is all about adjusting to adjustments.
When D-coords adjust to this Eagles college offense, it will be interesting to see if Hurts can be successful from the pocket as a QB, and not a RB.
Or if his body can hold up over time with all of the hits he is going to take on designed runs.
I'll put Hurts in the same category as Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.
I think there are many better
passing QB's.
